Speak to the assistant and hear the answer, right in your Discuss conversation
Press the microphone on any AI conversation in Discuss, say what you need, and the assistant answers in writing and out loud. Your spoken question stays in the conversation as text, so the whole exchange can be read back tomorrow.
Viindoo AI - Voice Assistant is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Viindoo Cloud, for everyone who would rather speak to the AI assistant than type - and for the administrator who sets it up once.
At a Glance
The facts of Viindoo AI - Voice Assistant, version 1.0.4, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
A microphone sits on the message box of every AI conversation in Discuss - in the chat window and in the Discuss app. There is no second window and no new menu to learn. The spoken language and the voice setup live in AI Settings of the conversation.
One row, the microphone beside what you type
The message box of an AI conversation is the usual one-line row: the emoji and attachment buttons, a microphone and, where Discuss shows it, Send. Nothing else sits in the row - the spoken language and the voice setup are in AI Settings.
Press the microphone and speak
The row turns into a recording row in place: a timer, a level meter that moves with your voice and the language being listened in (Listening in English (US), for instance). Speak, then press the tick to send. The cross beside it throws the recording away and nothing is sent.
Your question is written down, the assistant answers
The row comes back while your words are written down - Transcribing your question... - and then while the answer is prepared - The assistant is answering... The microphone slot shows a Stop button for both, and Stop gives the turn up. Your spoken question lands in the conversation as text, like any message you type.
Hear the answer, read the details
When the answer is complete, the assistant reads a short spoken summary aloud and the full answer - tables and figures included - stays on screen. While it reads, the microphone slot shows a sound-wave Stop button that ends the voice; you can keep typing meanwhile.
Speak in the language of the conversation
Open AI Settings from the conversation header. The Spoken language section offers Your language, which follows your own Odoo language, or any activated language, for this conversation only - the microphone then reads Speak your question in that language. The Voice section reads Ready, and an administrator also sees Change. A request in a language no configured voice reads aloud is understood and answered in English, aloud; only without an English voice either is it refused with a clear message, never answered in the wrong voice.
Approve a change by saying yes or no
When the assistant wants to change something, it reads the request back to you and shows the approval card in the conversation. Say yes or no, or click Approve or Reject - whichever comes first settles the card, and the step runs exactly once. An answer nobody understood is asked again once; if it is still unclear the request is cancelled and nothing changes.
Talk from any screen
The same row is in the chat window you open from the top bar, so you can speak while you work on a record. In the 360-pixel window the row stays one line, with the microphone beside the attachment button, and the recording row fits the same width.
Until voice is set up, only administrators see it
Until an administrator connects a speech provider, people who can configure it see a greyed microphone, and AI Settings shows a Voice section: Not set up yet. The microphone appears once a speech provider is configured. Its Set up voice button opens Settings > Viindoo AI. Everyone else sees no microphone and no voice section, and typing works as before.
Connect speech once, for everyone
An administrator ticks Speech on a provider (AI > Configuration > Providers), adds one speech-to-text and one text-to-speech model with the languages they serve (AI > Configuration > Models), and picks the Audio Vendor in Settings > Viindoo AI.
What You Get
Talk instead of type: a microphone on every AI conversation in Discuss
A recording row with a timer and a live level in place of the message box; Discard throws the recording away
Your spoken question is kept as text in the conversation and answered in order
A short spoken summary of the answer; the tables and figures stay on screen
A spoken language per conversation, chosen in AI Settings, without touching your own Odoo language
Say yes or no to approve a change - or click; the step runs once
Stop ends the voice and the answer together
Nobody's voice is kept: the recording is transcribed and discarded
Only people who can set up voice see the microphone before it is ready
What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
The assistant replies in the screenshots are prepared to illustrate the shape of an answer, and the voice states are shown as they appear once a speech provider is connected; your assistant answers from your own data.
An administrator connects a speech provider with one speech-to-text and one text-to-speech model. Audio is sent to the provider you chose; data residency applies as for text.
Conversations with colleagues have no microphone, and the assistant never listens unless you press it.
If it does not, the conversation says so and you can still type your question.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Viindoo AI - Voice Assistant do?
It puts a microphone on every AI conversation in Discuss. You press it and speak; your question is written into the conversation, the assistant answers in order, and a short spoken summary of the answer is read aloud while the details stay on screen. AI Settings pins the spoken language per conversation, and you can approve a proposed change by saying yes or no.
What does it not do?
It cannot listen or speak until an administrator connects a speech provider, it works in AI conversations only, and audio is sent to the provider you chose.
Is my voice recorded or kept?
No. The recording is turned into text and discarded - it is not attached to the conversation and no copy is kept in any technical log. Only the written question stays.
Can I approve a change by voice?
Yes. The assistant reads the request back and shows the approval card; say yes or no, or click Approve or Reject. The first answer settles the card and the step runs once. An answer the assistant could not understand is asked again once; if it is still unclear the request is cancelled and nothing changes.
Does the language follow my Odoo language?
By default it follows the person speaking. The Spoken language section of AI Settings pins a language for one conversation without changing your Odoo language, and for a language none of the configured voices reads aloud the answer is given in English instead.
Who sees the microphone?
Once speech is set up, everyone in an AI conversation. Before that, only people who can configure it see a greyed microphone and, in AI Settings, a Voice section with a Set up voice button; everyone else sees nothing.
Who is Viindoo AI - Voice Assistant for?
Everyone who talks to the AI assistant - and the administrator who connects speech once.
